String to 2D array

[kylomas]

@mikell - I changed over to '[^rn]+'...much cleaner...

[Malkey]

Local $a1 = StringRegExp($str, '.+', 3)

And cleaner and cleaner.

To create blank rows in the array from blank lines in the string.  

And, not create a blank row at the end of the array regardless of a trailing line feed in string.

Then this appears to work.

Local $a1 = StringRegExp($str, '(.*)(?:\R)|.+$', 3)

Edit: Changed from '(.*(?:R)|.+$)', because the outside capture group, (....), is capturing the non-capture group, (?:R), causing the line feeds to exist in the array elements. Edited September 19, 2014 by Malkey

does (?:R) mean excluding the enter line?

does (?:R) mean excluding the enter line?

Yes.

The "R" is matched in the test string, but is not captured. That is, the line feed will not appear in the result of the Reg Exp. function.

See my post#22 Edit.

However, this "(?:R)" non-capture group can be captured if enclosed within a capture group as I mistakenly did in post #22.
